The Thunderbolt Connection
Connect the Echo ExpressCard Pro directly to your computer’s Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 port(1), or at the end of a Thunderbolt device chain with a Thunderbolt cable (sold separately). The Sonnet adaptor requires no software and is bus-powered—it operates off its Thunderbolt connection and there’s no need to plug in a power supply. If you’ve got a Mac with Thunderbolt 3 ports, you can use the Echo adaptor by connecting an Apple® Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adaptor between the computer and Thunderbolt cable connected to the Sonnet adaptor.
